Kenworth t270 Class 6 and t370 Class 7 MediuM duty hyBrid ConVentional GVwr – 25,000 lbs. Class 6 & 33,000 lbs. Class 7

The new Kenworth Medium Duty T270 and T370 Hybrids are powered by the PACCAR PX-6 engine and include an integral transmission-mounted motor/generator, a frame-mounted 340-volt battery pack, and a dedicated power management system, creating a unique fuel efficient system.

In slower, stop-and-go traffic, the parallel hybrid power system developed in partnership with Eaton, acts as an electric motor utilizing power from the battery pack.

The system automatically switches between the two modes of operation. Stored electricity provides nearly 60 horsepower with 310 foot-pounds of torque. The Kenworth Hybrid uses braking events called “regenerative braking” to generate and store electricity. Electrical power is then used for acceleration, assisting the diesel engine. The T270 and T370 Hybrid can also be spec’ed with an electric power-take-off (ePTO). The ePTO allows energy to be drawn from the batteries for engine-off operation.

BOTTOM LEFT: The Hybrid system is monitored through a dash mounted display. As the power requirements for different driving conditions change, the screen constantly updates with the state of the system.
